Idukki Dam Boating Starting Point - History details

Idukki’s famed arch dam (commissioned 1976) spans Periyar between Kuravan & Kurathi hills; power began 4 Oct 1975 at Moolamattom (780 MW). Boating for visitors typically departs the Vellappara boat jetty near Idukki Wildlife Sanctuary/Cheruthoni, with ~30–45‑minute reservoir rides facing the dam pair. Special dates: public access/boating varies by season and water level—check counters on the day.
